I think the shop you describe fits better the description of "estanco" than "quiosco".
I agree. "Estanco" comes from the name of a State granted monopoly on tobacco, and these shops sell mainly (old) state monopolies like tobacco and stamps (but not lotto), and also candy and other low-price (candy are toys are usually less that 1€ per piece) goods like phone card recharges, small toys and child stamps. The name "Quiosco" refers to a kind of small building on the street where usually newspapers and magazines are sold, but also other not-so-low price (books, newspapers and magazines are usually over 1€ per piece) goods like (a few) books, water, sometimes bread and toys. These nowadays typically sell also tobacco and candy, so there is some overlapping among them.
On the other hand, in Spain, lotto is sell in specialized lotto-only shops called "Administración de Lotería". These are the only legal places to sell lotto and to play football polls.
